Chronograph Watch Face Elapsed Time Bug

Using an Apple Watch Series 8.


the Chronograph watch face has an odd bug wherein if you have the stopwatch on, and if the watch goes into power save mode, when you raise the wrist back again to check the elapsed time, at first a random minute count is displayed before going back to the actual count. I’ve checked with a friend and he is having the same issue as well.


Happens every time all the time. It’s never in sync with the actual time elapsed.

Hi Skaios,


From what you've shared you're experiencing expected behavior. This page goes into detail: Use Low Power Mode on your Apple Watch - Apple Support


Low Power Mode affects these features

* Making a phone call can take longer
* Background app refresh happens less frequently
* Complications update less frequently
* Siri can take longer to process a request
* Some animations and scrolling might appear less smooth


Since the feature you're using is a Complication it may take time for your stopwatch to update.


Take care.
